We're Going To Miss Westminster Abbey - "Modesty" Preventing Muslims Doctors And Nurses From Scrubbing Up (Also: Aussie Universities Under Pressure To Accommodate Muslim Students, Segregate Women)

Subjects

Remember earlier this month how female Muslim medical students were refusing to obey hygiene rules because it would expose their forearms? The Islamic Medical Association - naturally - came out in support of the students. But remember how medical officials said that no exceptions would be made because that spread infections and get in the way of making people not sick? Yeah, not so much:

Health officials are having crisis talks with Muslim medical staff who have objected to hospital hygiene rules because of religious beliefs. Medics in hospitals in at least three major English cities have refused to follow the regulations aimed at helping tackle superbugs because of their faith, it has been revealed... Dr Steve Ryan, medical director at Alder Hey said that while the "bare below the elbows" dress code is a matter of patient safety, the trust would work with Muslim students to find a solution... "A number of female Muslim students had approached the University of Liverpool to ask if we would provide facilities for them to change their outerwear and hijab for theatre scrubs. "We were pleased to accommodate this request and these facilities have now been incorporated."

Changing secular universities to accommodate demands the demands of radical Muslim students, up to and including female-only facilities - it's the newest multicultural craze:

Muelim university students want lectures to be rescheduled to fit in with prayer timetables and separate male and female eating and recreational areas established on Australian campuses. International Muslim students, predominantly from Saudi Arabia, have asked universities in Melbourne to change class times so they can attend congregational prayers. They also want a female-only area for Muslim students to eat and relax.

The Aussies, at least for now, are arguing that pathologically sexism isn't exactly the definition of multicultural accommodation.
